Personal Ansible configuration for my workstation

This is my (very) simple Ansible playbook that allow me to configure my Fedora Workstation installation. It allows me to install everything I need for both:

• my laptop, Lenovo X1 Carbon 4th gen
• my workstation, custom computer with Nvidia GPU and proprietary network card

Getting Started

These instructions will allow you to install and run my script.

Prerequisites

Compatibility

This script is compatible with:

• Fedora 29
• Ansible 2.7+

Before using the script

You simply need to have Ansible installed

sudo dnf install ansible -y

Once Ansible is installed you simply have to clone the repository

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/flavienbonvin/ansible-fedora-configuration

Using the script

You can now launch the script with the following command

ansible-playbook playbook.yml -K

Since I use this script on both my laptop (with integrated graphics) and my workstation (with an Nvidia graphic card and a proprietary network card) I had to make some tags to avoid installing unnecessary drivers on my laptop, to avoid both Nvidia and Broadcom you can use

ansible-playbook playbook.yml -K --skip-tags "desktop"

Finally I have to use for my job both Skype and Slack, if you don't want them you can use one of the following commands

ansible-playbook playbook.yml -K --skip-tags "flatpak-avoidable"

ansible-playbook playbook.yml -K --skip-tags "skype"
